Feel like crap after eating



Recommended Posts

For about a week now, when I eat, doesn't matter what I feel like crap. Not my stomach. General whole body crappy, head aches, lethargic, feel like everything is sitting super heavy in my gut. Again not painful.

I am eating 2-4 oz depending on what it is. Fairly clean foods, on Vitamins (which don't bother me) still on prilosec, liquid doesn't seem to cause it. Just food. And it doesn't seem to matter what te food is. Though if it is serious Protein it's worse.

Any ideas? Again it isn't my stomach hurting or feeling stretched or bloated. More a whole body response.

When were you sleeved? Is it all foods (note liquids OK)? Could it be a lactose thing? Something else?

Limit the combinations of foods and try to determine if it is something in particular. I am just starting solids, so, for me, everything is a bit *weird*, but I attribute that to the fact my stomach hasn't had anything solid in it for over 2 months (pre-op diet, too). But I think things are getting better.

Could you have a stomach virus? I don't know how it would feel with a sleeve.

Ohh, yes, I COMPLETELY understand. Until about the 7th week, no matter what I ate I felt sick afterwards. Then one day I ate something and I as fine. Once in a while it comes back. It seems that prilosex may have had something to do with it. Because now I am not taking it, i am looking for something else. I can say though that it did go away, now I am struggling with finding how much to eat. Seems like it changes with the time of day and foods. Sometimes I can eat two bites of something and then other things I can have five or six bites It is weird. I am hoping I can get a grip on it soon. I am at a stand still now but I have lost 42 lbs at 10 weeks.

I have had this happen off and on since making it onto mushy and then solid foods. It seems to happen more with denser food to me. I have no idea what it is, but it does pass soon for me - I only feel bad for about 10 minutes, and it's not every meal I eat.

Good luck. You're not alone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
